Yes. Someone please please please show him how to use a razor before the next photo opp.

I dunno, I think the neckbeard is working for him, in that it balances out the eyebrows (which I love. This is not a criticism of his eyebrows). Without the extra shadow going on around the neck, I suspect his face would look topheavy.

ZQ has seriously aggressive body/facial hair. That stuff grows like bamboo, so I try to cut him slack on that point.
That suit is FANTASTIC. He is FANTASTIC. Benedict Cumberbatch needed to spend the time he wasn’t beating Zach to a bloody pulp on the set of Star Trek, taking notes on how to dress.
Also: love the shoes!

I agree, he seems like a “hairy” guy, but he certainly could have taken the time to shave his neck as part of the rest of his grooming process. That facial hair didn’t pop up in the car on the way over to the red carpet.

I second the motion that ZQ seems like a “hairy” guy, and I can deal with the stubble, but a neck beard is not really congruent with manicured eyebrows. Lose the neckbeard, face scruff can stay, and I think we’ve got a personal best here for him.

ZQ looks AH-MAZING. I love the tux, and I I usually hate double breasted suits. All he has to do is shave the neck. Otherwise, perfection.

ETA: I even love how the buttons match the texture of his lapel. {swoon}

Neckbeard! Fie!

Eric Stott

Neckbeard works on him

homofascist

I totally agree. Obviously he is a hairy guy. I am sure if he doesn’t shave every day he probably has some degree of neckbeard. Hell, I wear a beard and I almost constantly have it – I just don’t feel like shaving sometimes!

homofascist

And by sometimes I mean pretty much all of the time…

My husband has it so I don’t mind it so much. I refuse to nitpick his grooming to a cellular level & he says nothing about how much my regular hair coloring costs. It works for us. =)

I’m hearing the title song from Hair over and over in my head…
“Don’t ask me why/ I’m just a hairy guy/ I’m hairy noon and night/ Hair that’s a fright/ I’m hairy high and low/ Don’t ask my why/ Don’t know..”

Except when he’s all done up as Spock, I always think of him as Sylar. Until just now when I looked at his Wikipedia page and the photo of him in glasses makes him look cute and friendly! He just seems so intense without them.

UsedtobeEP

Yeah, I can’t quite get the character he played on American Horror Story out of my mind, ever. (cold chill)

AnniNoone

Daaaaaaang. That stubble is so rash-worthy I’m not even going to stroke out about the neckbeard. Quinto likes the boys, right? Lucky boys.

He’s so fuzzy that I can tolerate the neckbeard, because it’s clearly the beginnings of a thick full beard (even if it’s just stubble), rather than scraggly uneven growth. I just want to rub my hands on his chin. I won’t though. But it’s tempting.
Chic suit. I’m impressed with how well fitted the double-breasted jacket is – that’s a tough shape to pull off without looking like Thurston Howell. He looks all movie star.

And just now I just realized why his (very hot) boyfriend is attracted to him. Ok so, that’s not right. But still, he looks amazing. Love the lapels, and the bowtie, and the shoes. So out of left field, but still perfection.

My confusion is the opposite of yours, I don’t get what anybody sees in Jonathan Groff. Then again, I’ve never watched Glee. AND NO I DO NOT WANT TO.

akprincess72

Me either!!!!!

thecitysleeps

He’s much more than Glee though. He’s a very talented theater actor and very cute imo.

sagecreek

Sigh. I’ve always loved the Spocks…

elemspbee

New Spock’s awesome!

Mary229

Yeah he’s hot.

Janet B

Wowza!
I don’t care how hairy you are, not shaving for a RC event is lazy.

alyce1213

It’s especially lazy when you’re swarthy like him.

MoHub

Those shoes!

littlemissstrange

Those shoes… that jacket… that face… swoon.

decormaven

Really! Those shoes. Genuflecting at the altar of St. Hubbins, Patron Saint of Quality Footwear.

My favorite suit/bowtie/shoes combination in some time. Gorgeous.
Not that offended with this particular neckbeard, Zach looks like he is one of those guys who need to shave twice a day to remain clean cut. It must get tiresome.

I just can’t with Quinto. He’s this big, tall guy who insists on dressing like a man half his size and ten years younger. He should ship his entire wardrobe over to that kid on Glee, the one in the wheelchair.

Kirstin McAulay

Must confess I’m now wondering how many times a day he had to shave for that pristine Spock look… no wonder he’s letting his face have a break!! (I know it was a year ago) Lucky lucky J.Groff

Joanne Abrams

Finally, a suit that fits him and that bloated look from last week is gone. He is definitely rocking it!

guest2visits

Great suit. I’m goin to agree for once about shaving the neckbeard, though.

NoGovernmentName

Is there a reason why neckbeards are all the rage these days? His shoes are cool as shit, though.

he does nothing for me, but I can agree that for the most part he looks good. I think it’s the patterned tie or the patterned lapels but not both.

ashtangajunkie

Wow! Love the tux and the bowtie is perfection.

Annarosa

SHAVE THAT NECK for God’s sake! Didn’t you learn anything from Chris Pine?

Oh, who cares? You look handsome anyway.

Puckndc

Live long and shave.

alyce1213

I saw him last night on Chelsea Lately. He’s bright, funny, an easy conversationalist — totally adorable. And he seems to have shaved, he had less beard and neck hair than this picture, and he looked great! (They joked about his haircut — he said people told him he had Hitler hair.)

BigWhiteGrannyPanties

Neckbeards make me itch all over. I can’t see anything but that neckbeard. It’s like we need to call him Pirate Neckbeard.

webslice33

what’z wrong with his eyes?

Crystal

OMG HE LOOKS WONDERFUL. I didn’t even notice the neckbeard, and my neckbeard radar is usually KEEN AND ANGRY.
